One of the benefits of owning a Pixel device is that you get updates pretty fast. Not to mention, in recent years, Google actually extended the years of support for some of their new Pixel phones. But what about older Pixel devices? The good news is that Google is extending their love to the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and the Pixel Fold.

According to an update to the support page for Pixel updates, Google has seemingly confirmed that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 will be getting a total of five years worth of Android OS updates. This is essentially an addition of two years, up from the three years that Google had previously offered.

That being said, it should be noted that five years still falls short compared to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9. Both these devices get a total of 7 years of updates, but we suppose it's better than nothing. It is also possible that due to the older hardware that even if Google wanted to, they cannot promise that the Pixel 6 or Pixel 7 might actually be able to run further updates in an optimized way.

Either way, if you own the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7, it looks like you'll be able to hold onto either of these devices for a little bit longer.

While we're still a few months away from its supposed launch date, we already know a lot about Google's upcoming Pixel 9a thanks to a wealth of leaks online. While they might not be "official," they nevertheless paint a picture of what to expect once Google's 2025 midrange makes its debut.

With that in mind, new photos shared online show hands-on images of what is supposedly a Pixel 9a unit, which corroborates the earlier design leaks from a few months back. Shared by Twitter/X user @feni_book on his page, the photos show the device's flat rear panel, as well as a more minimalist camera bump, a big change from the camera bar design found on older Pixel devices.

The unit also lacks a proper Google "G" logo, and instead features markings which indicate that this is a prototype unit. Some are speculating that this might not be the 9a's final design as it is still in production, although we're bound to know its true appearance once Google announces it (or if we get more leaks).

The Pixel 9a is also expected to launch in March, and will come with Google's Tensor G4 chip, the same SoC used in the Pixel 9 series phones.

Google is working on a successor to the original Pixel Tablet. Are we surprised? Hardly. But what we are surprised to learn is that Google could also be working on a new accessory for the tablet. According to a report from Android Authority, this is expected to come in the form of a keyboard case for the Pixel Tablet 2.

If this is true, the Pixel Tablet 2 could potentially offer an alternative to Apple's iPad Pro series. Apple launched the iPad Pro a while back and introduced an official keyboard case for the tablet. This greatly improved the productivity potential for the tablet, allowing users to type out emails, documents, and more.

Sure, there are third-party keyboard accessories for the tablet, but having an officially made one could offer up better integration and maybe some exclusive features. At the very least, users will have more options to choose from. In addition to the keyboard case, the report suggests that Google could introduce other improvements to the Pixel Tablet 2.

This includes an upgraded camera on the front and back of the tablet as well as a new chipset. It is unclear if the tablet could end up using the Tensor G4, which is found in the Pixel 9 lineup, or if it might arrive in time for the Tensor G5. The latter might be interesting as it is rumored that the Tensor G5 could be the first truly custom chipset from Google.

The problem with foldable phones is that they're not particularly cheap to begin with. So, imagine if you break or damage the display of one, and you've guessed right, it won't be cheap to replace at all. This is why we can't say we're surprised at the cost of a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

According to a report from 9to5Google, they cite a page on iFixit's website in which they list a bunch of the genuine components you can buy if you want to fix the Pixel 9 Pro Fold yourself. One of those parts is the foldable display of the phone, where according to the list, it will cost a whopping $1,199!

Yes, you read that right, a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold actually costs more than the base Pixel 9 model, the Galaxy S24, and Apple's latest iPhone. That's honestly kind of crazy, but keep in mind that this isn't just the display itself. It consists of the metal frame and hinge, all of which presumably adds to the cost of the part.

This doesn't mean we're discouraging you from buying the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It is a fantastic foldable handset. It's just that you might want to be extra careful when handling it because replacing its display could end up costing you an arm and a leg.
